Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS)
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program/MACOA
Volunteers in Police Service are a group of local citizens, 55 years of age or older, who want to make their community and neighborhoods a safer place. They work with the Montgomery Police Department to provide a extra set of eyes and ears for the MPD. VIPS have many opportunities such as light office work, patroling neighborhoods in a VIPS car, performing vacation home checks, and many other possibilities. VIPS are non-confrontational, and alert the MPD to any problems in the community by a 2-way radio. Volunteers are asked to serve 4 hours a week.
